I’m super excited to finally have a local #WNBA team 🏀 😃

Wondering how they’ll fare so I looked at the first year performance of expansion teams to set my expectations 😬

Here's to hoping the #Valkyries look more like the Wings than the 4 teams who lost almost every game 🤞

This whole budget issue entails two absolutely terrible choices, each with a host of really painful consequences. Being angry at either choice is a stupid hill to die on imho. But alas, on social media, there is only certitude and rage.

Good news everyone! Airfares keep getting cheaper and cheaper 😒

I heard a new and apparently "uncommon" bird on my walk around the neighborhood last night. It had a really unique flight song.

I love the name too. Bird names are so weird lol

Started watching Running Point on Netflix. Basketball AND comedy?!! 🤩

It’s pretty funny / silly with some good writing. Could be a bit edgier but at least it’s got Jon Glaser. Always nice to see him.

This article argues that the Trump regime is a "patrimonial" one, and suggests two fatal flaws to leverage when building a counter strategy. It gives me some hope.

But only some hope because I'm not very confident the messaging tactics used back in the 90s can work today.

To deliver a consistent, clear, and persistent message of corruption and self-dealing you have to address the mainstream media filtering problem, as well as how to break through the tribal information bubbles people live in now.

Worth trying though! 🤷‍♂️

@mrowster got me thinking about who was the most underrated SST band from back in the day.

My pick would be Stains. Totally unique sound. Innovators of the punk/metal crossover. Fast, noisy, and angry.

Plus, those East LA punk bands were the most authentic imho

Here's their one and only album from 1983 👇

This essay uses Plato's "allegory of the cave" to shed light on America's broken public square. I like the term used here too, "manufacture of dissent".

I think of this in terms of online political discussions happening right now.

"it’s designed for warfare. It uses strategies like fear appeals, disinformation, and conspiracy theories to deny our ability to consent. It erases complexity and nuance, and it encourages groupthink and partisan discord."
